Application filed-September 17, 1924. Serial No. 788,322.

My invention relates to a wire frame hanger for wardrobes, whichmay be easily secured to and detached from a closet door or other sup ort, and more particularly to a combined at and tie hanger rovided with means for holding hats, at t e same time preservingtheir shape, .and having a convenliently disposed tie rack beneath the hat rac One of the objects of my invention is to provide aneat and compact collapsible hanger for articles of personal use, the construction being such that hats may be held and their shape preserved, and ties, umbpellas, canes and the like may be hung in ace. I

With the above and other objects in view, my invention consists in the parts, improvementsand combinations more fully pointed out hereinafter.

Referring now to the drawings:

Figure 1 is a front perspective view showing one form of the invention, with hats, ties and other articles in place on the hanger.

Figure 2, is a side elevation of the hanger.

Figure 3, is a erspective view of the hanger illustrated in Figure 1, showing the hanger collapsed and ready for shipment or storage. 7

Figure 4., is a detailed cross-sectional view on line 4-4 of Figure 3, showing the sidebar and turned pivot arm of the crossbar, which enables the hanger. to be collapsed, an

Figure 5, is a perspective view of another form of the invention, showing'the hanger as constructed all in one piece.

In the drawings, as illustrated in Figures 1 and 3, the hanger consists of the upper and lower crossbars 1 and 2. The upper memher 1, is provided with two curved halfcircle portions 3, 4, for holding hats. Each of these portions isconstructed so that the.

crown of a hat will be held therein and its shape preserved. Projecting side arms 5, 6, are provided for s acing the upperm'emher from the door. n the form of the invention shown inFigures 1 and 3, the arms 5, 6, enter a pair of sidebars 7, 8, and pivotally secure the upper member thereto. The arms are axially connected to and. ivoted on their longitudinal axes in the si e bars, so

that a fixed axial and a permanently fixed angular relation is maintained between the. longitudinal axes of the arms andthe slde bars. This construction spacesthe crossbar member away from the closet door to which the hanger is attached, sufliciently to allow room for hats to be placed with their crowns inthe curved portions of the crossbar member; the brims may rest against the door. The hats-may thus be protected'from damage.

The lower crombar member 2, is also provided with a pair of pro'ecting arms 9, 10, which enter the sidebars 7, 8, at their lower end and pivotally secure the crossbar memher to the sidebars. The cross bars thus also, serve as stifiening braces between the sidebars, the. hanger thus roducing a rigid frame both when attached in place for use and when shi ped. Screws 11, are provided which pass t r'u holes in the sidebars and secure the hanger to the closet door.

Ties, canes, umbrellas and the like may be hung on the lower member- 2, and sliding hooks 12, may be provided on which to hang pocketbooks and similar articles.

.In the form of the invention illustrated in Figures 1,. 3 and 4, the arms 5, 6 of the upper member. 1 and the arms 9, 10 of the lower'member 2, are turned at their ends as at 13 (see Figure 4), and enter recesses in the sidebars 7 8. The arms ica 'the upper crossbar are of substantially thesame length as but slightly .lon er than those for the lower crossbar, sot at thelower bar mayshown in Figures l and 3, the upper and lower crossbar members 1, 2 being provided with arms 5, 6, 9 and 10, integral with sidebars 7, 8. These sidebars may be flattened at about their centers and holes provided thru which screws pass to secure the hanger to the closet door.

Having thus described the invention, it

will be understood that changes may be made therein without departing from the principle 5 of the invention. 7
